Tom Bogert and Tab Ramos give the full scouting report on Paraguay ahead of the USMNT's Group D opener on Friday night in Los Angeles. They break down Paraguay's strengths, the key players the U.S. must contain, and where Mauricio Pochettino's team can find success against one of the tournament's toughest defensive units.
Tab also takes listeners inside the preparation for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, sharing stories from the coaching staff's game-planning process ahead of the United States' opening match against Ghana and explaining why even the most detailed plans can be thrown into chaos once the whistle blows.
Plus, the guys wrap up the show with Tab's DraftKings predictions for all four opening matches of the tournament, including Mexico vs. South Africa, South Korea vs. Czechia, Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina and, of course, United States vs. Paraguay.
